Chapter 215 Warmth
In this era, identity and family background are a gap that is difficult for ordinary people to cross.
Therefore, even though Xia Linxuan and his wife were not around before, the neighbors who were devoted to their three children still hoped to gather everyone's meager strength to support Shujie in the autumn examination. As long as Shujie passed the imperial examination, he would have hope of getting a job from the government.
Their lives will be guaranteed in the future.
In the eyes of these urban neighbors, it is already a great thing to be admitted to the juren and get an official position, which they dare not expect. In other words, everyone on Xitang Street knows that Shujie has had the talent for studying since he was a child.
I passed the exam for a scholar when I was under 15 years old, otherwise I would not dare to think about it. After all, for the poor, studying and taking the exam is a very expensive thing.
But what they didn't expect was that the shy young man was now the top scholar in both civil and military affairs, and those people said that he was still a close minister of the emperor.
The neighbors are not very clear about what official position "the emperor's close minister" is, but the village chief Zhang Shiwen said that it is the person who can speak around the emperor, the emperor? It's so far away from them! They only know that they are nervous when they see the county magistrate.
I was afraid because the county magistrate could make them very unlucky with just one word, but look, even the prefect was respectful to Mr. Jie.
Seeing Shujie and his three brothers walking towards them, except for Shuyao wearing a hat, they couldn't see their faces clearly, and Shujie and his brothers were smiling, just like they had lived on Xitang Street before, but what they were emitting more and more
The more obvious the noble spirit, the more people can't help looking up at them.
Some neighbors thought they should salute, but they wouldn't. Some people wanted to call "Young Master Jie" and "Brother Jie" like before, but rubbed their hands and couldn't shout it out. More people were stunned...
…
Shujie and his younger brothers and sisters bowed to everyone: "Uncle Zhang, Uncle Li, Aunt Li, all the neighbors, uncles and aunts, Shujie and his younger brothers and sisters are back to thank everyone! Thank you for your help and care for the neighbors!"
The neighbors quickly responded to gifts in various ways, or shook their heads embarrassedly, and waved their hands: "Where is there? Where is there? We did nothing, but it was the benefit of your three children." They said yes,
The family can support the three siblings by saving a little, and let Shujie continue the scientific examination. But later, not only did the three children not need their help, Shujie often gave them some fresh prey. Later, he opened a tofu shop, and almost every family had people
They have successively obtained job opportunities in stores or tofu shops and have a stable income. If you want to say thank you, they should thank Shujie and his three brothers and sisters.
Zhang Shiwen smiled and said, "Okay, don't push it around, you are all neighbors. They all grew up watching Brother Jie'er and his three siblings. These three children are like Brother Xia and Brother and Sister, and they are all kind and righteous children. Everyone
Too much disgust hurts the child's heart. It turns out that the child is still the child of our brother Xia when he is successful."
Uncle Li smiled silly and said, "Hey, that's it. Yes. Master Jie, Aunt Mei said you will be here today. Your aunt steamed peanut red bean cake early in the morning, saying that you three siblings like to eat it, and...
A good sign.”
Shujie said happily: "Thank you Aunt Li. We have been there for more than half a year and I miss the peanut red bean cake made by Aunt Li very much." Shuwen also shouted: "Okay, you can eat the peanut red bean cake made by Aunt Li again.
OK."
Peanut red bean cake means a brilliant brushstroke, good luck will lead to success, and it will usually only be made during the Chinese New Year. For ordinary people, glutinous rice, peanuts, red dates, red beans, and white sugar are all essential ingredients, even if they are made once a year.
I also don’t have to put too much ingredients, and most of them use much cheaper indica rice flour to mix it into glutinous rice flour to make cakes, which naturally has a much worse taste.
Aunt Li’s skill in making peanut red bean cakes even Zhen Zirou, who is good at making pastries, praised it. To make delicious peanut red bean cakes, it not only takes the ingredients, but also takes great effort, but also requires skill.
Because Zhen Zirou often sends delicious food to the Li family next door to repay her. In order to give the best peanut and red bean cakes to Shujie and his three siblings, the peanut and red bean cakes made by Aunt Li during the Chinese New Year are full of flavor.
The fragrance is fragrant and slim, delicate and soft, glutinous but not sticky. After chewing, the mouth is filled with the sweetness of peanuts, red beans, and red dates, which makes people love it.
Because of the auspicious meaning, when Shujie went to Damingfucheng to take the autumn examination, the day before the exam, Aunt Li specially steamed peanut red bean cake and asked Chunsheng to send it to Damingfucheng. Last year, the day before the three siblings came to Beijing, Aunt Li was again
A bed of peanut red bean cake was steamed and they were asked to take it on the way. In the eyes of Shujie and his sister, the peanut red bean cake made by Aunt Li is not worse than the rare food given by the palace. The most precious thing is Aunt Li's intention.
What people who make food most hope is that people who eat like it. Seeing Shujie and his three brothers and sisters still want to eat their own peanut red bean cakes. The joy and joy look like fakes, Aunt Li's face is full of
It’s gratitude and satisfaction. The family has been initially preparing to move south, and I don’t know if there is any chance to make cakes for these three children to eat in the future?
Uncle Li and Aunt Li are from Sucheng in the south. Uncle Li has his parents in his hometown. They now live in Xitang Street. They have long rented a fellow villager. They wanted to wait until the lease expires next year, and they just saved up almost the money.
I bought this yard, renovated it, built two more rooms, brought the old man, and prepared for Chunsheng's marriage.
Who knew that Xitang Street was suddenly requisitioned, and the housing prices in Yulin County jumped to triple. Now, for their families, buying a yard in Yulin County has become a luxury. They can only go back to Sucheng and still be able to make their hometown.
Isn't it much easier to renovate and expand the dilapidated house than to be in Yulin County? What they are reluctant to do is the current good neighborhood relationship, the ten years of relationship in Yulin, and the stable errand of Chunsheng in Mixue Tofu Floor. Two months ago, Chunsheng just now
Being promoted to manager.
Thinking of this, a hint of melancholy flashed across Aunt Li's smile: "If you like to eat, I will make it for you. When I go back to Sucheng, it will be difficult for Aunt Li to cook it for you."
"Aunt Li, are you leaving Yulin?" Shu Yao asked anxiously. Has the decision been made so quickly? Is it too late for them to come back?
Aunt Li was about to say something, but was stopped by Uncle Li: "What do you do in a great day? Isn't this a final decision yet? The three children have not entered the house yet. Go and help steam the cake and heat it up, just for the children.
We make snack cushions. Those who come back all the way must be hungry.”
Aunt Li quickly responded: "Yes, yes, you guys think I'm really confused, I'll go steam cakes now."
Aunt Mei grabbed Aunt Li's hand and smiled, "I knew that the young master, the girl likes to eat the cakes you made, and it has been steamed."
Shujie thought for a while and said to Zhang Shiwen: "Uncle Zhang, Uncle Li and Aunt Li, you can stay here tonight. Go back slowly, Shujie has something to discuss with you." This matter should be arranged as soon as possible to facilitate the arrangements of the neighbors.
.
Zhang Shiwen and the other two naturally agreed immediately. With Shujie's current identity, he was willing to talk to them. He felt ashamed to think about it.
Shujie's grandmother Zhao He also brought his eldest aunt Zhang and his younger grandson Zhao Tianyou. Tianen was talking to them, and Liu's mother was also with him.
Zhao He looked much happier, as if he had become a different person, and he had mixed feelings. Tianen is now learning from the shopkeeper in Mixue Tofu shop. He never thinks he is the "master master" superior, with a down-to-earth person, and diligent hands and feet.
. He is also polite and sensible, and has a good reputation among all the people. He is more confident in himself and naturally becomes more and more cheerful.
Seeing Shujie and his three siblings coming over, Zhao He excitedly stretched out his hands: "Jie'er..."
Shujie quickly walked forward a few steps and grabbed Zhao He's hand: "Grandma, how are you?"
Zhao He nodded straight: "Okay, okay, grandma is very good. Yao'er, Wen'er comes, let grandma see. Haha, he has grown taller again. You asked Aunt Mei to send the money. Grandma bought two little ones.
In the yard, you two uncles are one of them. Now the noodle shop at home is open, and some sauerkraut is also sold in the backyard. Our life is very good now, so you don’t have to worry.”
Because the court vigorously developed the economy and encouraged business, there were more and more merchants coming and going in Yulin Town, which had a geographical advantage. Although the shops Wang Xi helped Zhao's family to buy were not prosperous, they were in places where merchants were concentrated, and Zhao's noodle shops were made.
The business is honest, full of weight, good taste, but the business is quite good.
The Zhao Dabao brothers all sighed that if they had known this, they would have been better off returning to Yulin a few years ago than leaving their hometown, and were finally driven out of Haicheng by bullies. Their sauerkraut workshop was now a prosperous shop.
Fortunately, with the help of Shujie and his three brothers and sisters, they were able to do so well. The two brothers Zhao Dabao felt very guilty. They had neglected to take care of Shujie, their nephew for many years, but in times of difficulty, they used their nephew's funding.
Buy a house for money.
However, when Zhao He gave them their respective deeds, he solemnly warned that they were not allowed to talk to Shujie in the future. Shujie gave them this time, because Shujie's three brothers and sisters valued love and friendship, but they
When the brothers came to ask for it, they not only lost their sister (sister) and the Zhao family's face, but also made Shujie lose face in front of his two brothers and sisters.
Shujie has been taught by Zhen since he was a child. In recent years, the backers of the three siblings have been friends with Zhen. Even the royal family’s gift to the three siblings was because of Zhen, and they had nothing to do with their Zhao family. But they were in Shu
When Jie is successful and famous, he comes to his house to please him. Didn’t he lose Shujie’s face in front of those nobles and the face of Shujie’s biological mother Zhao?
Zhao He did not understand any great truth. She only knew that "people need shame, trees need bark". The people of their old Zhao family could not do that shameless thing, and they could not let their daughter be ashamed of Zhen under the ground.
I can't raise my head in front of Zhen.
Both Zhao Dabao nodded in agreement with each other. The eldest daughter-in-law Zhang also agreed. Only Cheng muttered, with a look of unwillingness. However, although Zhao Erbao was honest, he was stubborn but was terrifying.
He respected his dead sister very much and agreed with his mother's words. He could not tolerate anything Cheng said in this matter. Especially before, Zhao He and the others came back from the capital, he heard Zhao He talk about Cheng's in the capital.
After the "scandal", I felt ashamed of his sister and seriously warned Cheng at that time that Zhao Erbao rarely used anger at Cheng like that, which really made her know that it was even more terrible for honest people to get angry.
Moreover, after Zhao He returned to Yulin, he really let the two brothers Zhao Dabao separate, and Zhao He followed Zhao Dabao.
Although the two brothers Zhao Dabao still do business in the noodle shop and sauerkraut shop together after they split up, the brothers settled the accounts clearly, and Zhao Dabao accounted for 60% of the shares and 40% of the shares. Because the money from the store came from Zhao Dabao's wife's private money, the store
The land deed and the house deed belong to the large house.
Cheng knew very well that since something happened in Haicheng, let alone Zhao He, Zhao Dabao and his wife had a big grudge against her, even Zhao Erbao was dissatisfied with her. What she said would not work in this family at all.
, It really made Zhao Erbao angry, and it was hard to guarantee that she would not be retired to Haicheng. Besides, even if she wanted to do anything, Shujie would not give her face. Those three siblings were not easy to control.
After hearing Zhao He's words, Shujie held his younger brother and sister's shoulders and felt warm. When Zhao He and the others left Beijing, Shu Yao handed a letter to Zhang Gui to bring to Aunt Mei, asking her to invite Wang Xi.
Helping the Zhao family find a shop, he also gave Zhao He five hundred taels of silver. Shujie only found out about these things later. He knew that his younger brother and sister didn't want him to worry, and was also moved by their caring heart. (I haven't finished it.
